CGBC Game 5... Start of the streak

Your Fightin' Reformers are on a hot streak. Thanks to strong play from Jon Goforth, Josh Harbert and Benji Hutson and one of the weaker opponents CGBC has faced yet, they were able to secure a 61-54 win. Hutson gave the team an emotional lift when he inserted himself into the game after what some were thinking could have been a season ending foot injury. Goforth supplied solid play on both sides of the court and Harbert had his best game of the year with 13 points and 15 rebounds despite the fact he was ordered to the bench by the referee for responding to an unusually mouthy opponent. Aaron Cline recovered from a poor shooting first half to find his shot in the last few seconds of the first half and hit huge shot after huge shot down the stretch to help lead his team to victory.

The stands were once again packed. "I can't believe I stayed up this late and kept Logan up past his bedtime! What a waste of time!" said father of two, Justin McDaniel. "Randy Pifer played way too much" said girlfriend of star Goforth, Lauren Trammel. "These games are starting to really drag" said Rachel Wyatt, fiance of player/coach Zach Blount.

Your Reformers are off till next Tuesday as they have their first bye of the season. It comes at a good time to allow Hutson and Ben Skaug to recover from their injuries and prepare for the second half of the season.
"We only have one goal, and that is a championship" said Goforth as he was walking off the court. "Bringing CGBC its first Championship is driving me every time I step on this court."

It will take more strong play from the entire team if they are going to play with some of the best teams in the league. Evangelistic Temple and Carolina seem to be the class of the league and CGBC will need to play at the top of their game to beat them. Lets hope the Fightin' Reformers are peeking at the right time!

CGBC Game 4... First Win

Well, CGBC, your Fightin' Reformers have finally broken into the win column. Thanks to a heroic effort by the duo of slash and smash (Jon Goforth and Pastor Ben) we were able to overcome a feisty Renfrew team who apparently had the referee crew on their payroll as well. The game was in doubt until a breakaway layup by Pastor Ben, a play in which he injured himself, put the game out of reach. It then turned into a free throw contest in which THE Covenant Grace was just a little bit better and was able to salt the game away and win 59-50.

The stands were packed full of fans. It was hard to keep track of them all, but as I spent alot of time on the bench I was able to do some counting. My best guess, and I'm no bean counter, was a total of 5 fans in attendance.

Please, CGBC, get to Double Springs next Tuesday night early! There may not be enough seating available for the droves of fans we expect. Game time is 8:15. See you there. As always, stay tuned for all your CGBC bball news!

Gentle urging to fans

CGBC, I challenge you all to be more like Ty Thompson. Ty and John Tyler were the first to join the CGBC bandwagon by coming to our game tonight. Think what advantage you could give us if we had a loud boisterous crowd behind us. Im talking signs, face paint, large face cut outs of your favorite player... whatever you deem necessary. 

CGBC, you have been challenged. 6:15 Thursday night at Renfrew Baptist in TR. Please don't disappoint us... again.

CGBC Game 3

Well, #CGBC, we lost yet again. It was a hard fought 66-60 loss in which we fought hard but couldn't any shots down the stretch. One again the fan support was weak, outside of a handful of faithful fans in the stands we played in front if mostly anti-CGBC crowd. For the first time all year we had our full roster and we showed moments of brilliance but couldn't sustain any momentum. CGBC looks to end the losing streak Thursday night at Renfrew Baptist at 6:15. Come out and support your Fightin' Reformers.
